Power Couple: Offset and Cardi B Buy Five Homes at Once in Atlanta Suburb

Are they building their dream home or is it all for an investment?

That’s a question that some are probably asking themselves after it was reported that Cardi B and Offset purchased a strip of five homes in the Atlanta suburb of Jonesboro, Georgia.

According to the Daily Mail, the rappers paid $201,840 for the homes. They also spent $48,080 on an adjacent lot.

At first JMH Ventures President Jeff Dimock, who sold the homes, said he had no idea his company was dealing with a famous couple until closing. He’s also not sure what they’ll do with the properties.

Offset has been listed as the main buyer of the homes and Cardi B an additional buyer.

There’s also someone who lives in one of the houses, and that person is also in the dark about what’s going to be done or whether he’ll have to move in the future. As a matter of fact, the only thing the unknown tenant knows is that his landlord sold the place.

“We’re not being asked to move out or anything. They just sold it. I’d like to stay here, nobody wants to go through the hassle of moving houses,” he said.

This is at least the second time in less than a year that Cardi closed on a new home.

In 2018, the “Money” rapper revealed that she bought her mother a house in New York, one that Cardi said she saved up for. The Bronx native also stated that it was her childhood dream to by her mom a house, which she gave a brief tour of.

“Happiest day of my life,” said Cardi in a video. “Last year I was so thirsty to buy my mom a home, and I could only afford a house that cost $600,000, and you know, we live in New York.”

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
